Description of the Book

The book is a personal account, spiced with wry humour and served up with a touch of irony on the side, of adventures and misadventures in the life of a geologist employed by a celebrated mining company, the imperial ambitions of which self-styled colossus were inspired by two far-famed masters, the first an avuncular multinational oil giant and the other a majestically entrepreneurial South African Mining House. The book describes the thrills and spills of journeys undertaken to remote places; vagaries of deportment in both field operations and the mystic art of business travel; executive career-building imperatives, (come what may); pleasures and pitfalls of working in a culturally diverse environment; the never-ending dilemma over whose side Head Office is really on; and corporate practices both benign and bizarre - while offering insights and opinions (quite as topical as they are pertinent) on all of the foregoing.
